Pool Replastering Services in Morgan's Point, Texas

Pool replastering for an older bayfront housing stock

The city is small enough that the Census Bureau's survey numbers are rough guides. Its 2020–2024 figures come from a sample covering about 106 housing units, plus or minus 38, so every share below is approximate. On those figures, about 43 units (40.6%) were built before 1970, about 32 of them (30.2%) in 1939 or earlier, while about another 32 (30.2%) date from the 1980s; the median year built is 1982, with a margin of 13 years. About 89 units (84.0%) are detached houses, and owners live in about 68 of 90 occupied homes (75.6%).

The 2020 Census, which counts every home, found 134 housing units, 103 of them occupied, and 273 residents; the July 1, 2025 estimate is 272 people.

What to expect from new plaster's color

The National Plasterers Council says normal mottling, a shaded or cloudy look caused by differences in moisture and hydration, isn't a defect, needs no remedy and usually fades or disappears with time. The owner disclosure it endorses adds that a finish isn't guaranteed for evenness of color, that pigmented surfaces vary and fade over time, and that crazing, the fine check and hairline cracks that can be pronounced in colored finishes, is normal. Pigment type matters as well: organic pigments have much smaller particles than inorganic ones, the Council explains, so they come loose more easily as the cement surface turns porous with wear.

Replastering a pool beside the bay: water and drought rules

The Handbook of Texas puts Morgan's Point twenty miles south of Houston, where Buffalo Bayou meets the San Jacinto River at the northwestern tip of Galveston Bay; the City puts it 30 miles east of Houston, beside the bay at the inlet to the Houston Ship Channel. Water covers 0.701 of the 1.521 square miles inside the Census Bureau's 2025 boundaries, 46.1% of the total, against 0.82 square miles of land. On a bayfront lot the storm forecast is part of choosing a drain date.

The City adopted the La Porte Area Water Authority's Drought Contingency Plan as its own, by Ordinance No. 18-758 on November 13, 2018, and the city secretary keeps the plan; its pool-filling rules aren't printed in the code, so ask City Hall which stage applies before the drain. The City's water quality reports page listed no documents when this page was written, which leaves no published hardness figure to go on, so the fill water gets its own test.

Balance and circulation after the fill

The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance explains the saturation index this way: at zero the water is balanced, above zero it tends to form scale, and below zero it tends to attack the calcium compounds in cement surfaces. It cites the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals' range of -0.3 to +0.5 and says a positive value may be preferred to a negative one. That attack is what the National Plasterers Council calls etching, the removal of material from within the finish surface, seen as visible pitting, and the Council recommends turning the pool water over once a day, drawing about two-thirds of it from the main drain and about one-third from the skimmers.

Replastering options, tile and coping

A replaster can stay with white plaster, add color, or step up to quartz or pebble, and the drained pool is often the moment to replace waterline tile and coping, repair cracks or acid-wash the shell. National figures for 2026 put basic plaster resurfacing at $5,000 to $10,000. That range is national, not a quote; the real figure comes from League City Pool Resurfacing's free look at the pool.

Along the bay we also handle pool resurfacing in La Porte and swimming pool remodeling in Shoreacres.
